Chapter Seven: Being Brave

Lindsey POV

We were on some kind of bus and as we got on we went down. Alice and I were forced to sit down in the seats. Alice was panicking while I took in deep breaths. I wasn't big om moving vehicles. I held on tight just to not scream.

"What's wrong with you?" Hatter asked. I looked up at him. "Not a vehicles girl. I got into an accident. Nearly broke my neck." I told him. Why?

"I don't remember that. Did you ever tell me?" Alice asked. "I hardly remember it myself. But It was three years before I met you." I lied. "I was five then." I actually was in it before meeting Alice. But I wasn't one to tell her.

"Sorry to hear. But it's perfectly safe." Hatter smiled. I didn't fully believe that but nodded anyway.

Once the thing came to a- "Wait." And... "Okay." Thanks Hatter.

Once we came to a stop we headed off the bus and-

*Gun clicks.

"What the-"

Before I spoke a word a gun was pointed at my head. I looked to Hatter who sighed and still got off. "Sorry Hatter. No hard feelings." Said the woman holding a shot gun.

"It's just flesh and blood." Hatter sighed. "Are you used to to this? Getting a gun pointed at you? Is this all a joke to you?" I asked. All he did was give me a side glance.

"We've all seen what you can do with that sledgehammer." The woman said. I looked over at Alice then Hatter. "Are you serious?" I whispered. He ignored me. "Did you not like the box I gave you? The cured meats and cheeses?" He asked the pair.

What did meats and cheese have to do with this?

"They're all gone." The man said.

"Well if you don't treat me with a little respect," I knew where this was going somewhere bad. "You won't get another crumb!" Hatter raised his voice. I was about to snap at him when the woman put the gun down. "Sorry Hatter. We're all a little jumpy." She said.

"We're all a little jumpy." He said.

"Where are we?" Alice asked as we finally walked down this long hallway. "The great library. The queen of hearts fears knowledge. And she'd want nothing more then to burn it all to the ground." Hatter said.

"How awful. She needs to know how some books are pointless. If she really wanted to burn them, history or any science books would work. Non of the rest are that knowledgeable. Unless your going to kill someone with cooking." I said.

Alice pulled on my hair. "Ow!" "Who is the queen of hearts?" And Alice just made things worse. "She doesn't know the queen?! Who the hell is she Hatter?! And her friend!" The woman pointed the shotgun at us once again and we were backed up.

"Could you just relax! Owl! Trust me!" Hatter said.

The two were really jumpy. "She's been underground for too long." I said quickly. "I've been meaning to inform her on what's been happening. Don't shoot." I said. I could handle guns. I wasn't scared of that.

"Back to the elevator! All three of you!" The man shouted. "Owl. Duck. haven't you learned-" "Watch that right hand!' Owl said. "To trust me." Hatter smirked while holding two round...Cheese? "A bribe?" Owl asked. "Yes. Two, tasty, delicious, yummy one's. Can't be sensible on an empty stomach." I rolled my eyes. "Hopeless." I said.

I stood in front of the shotgun facing Owl. "You are Owl. A wise woman. The wisest among all in Wonderland. Now, tell me something. What makes you believe that two girls, and this guy," I added in Hatter. "Would have us lie to you? All we want is some information and help. Once we have that, were out of your hair. No strings attached. Look me in the eyes . Tell me you want to shoot me here and now." I dared her.

"Are you crazy?" I heard Alice shout. "Owl. Please. Put the shotgun away." I heard Hatter speak.

Owl looked into my eyes for a moment. I could see her fear. Whatever the queen has done, I'm damn sure I'm helping save it. She finally put the gun down. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She began to cry. I sighed and hugged her. "There there. Hush little one. Everything will be alright." I said to her.

Once I let go she wiped her tears. "You don't look like a fighter. The other one yes. But you don't want to hurt anyone." She said. I smiled. "Thank you." I said to her. "But I still don't trust Hatter." She said glaring. "Don't care what the deal is. Just want to get our friends then you deal with whatever problems you all have." I said.

"These are people who will help us find Jack and Chris?" I asked turning to Hatter. "Don't worry. The boss is more savvy." He said. I looked over at Alice who was looking down.

"Who are they?" She asked. I looked over the ledge seeing what she was seeing. "Refugees. Those who have survived, or are in hiding from the queen." Hatter explained. "How awful. I should just go to the casino myself and smack this queen. She's so terrible. She's blinded by what she wants and it's hurting her own people." I said.

"We try to feed them the best we can. But if she got wind of all them here, they wouldn't stand a chance." Hatter said. "She controls people with a quick fix. Wisdom is her biggest threat." He added.

I couldn't help but feel sad. "I wish there was a way for us to help." I whispered. "You oysters can't help. No one can." Hatter said.

"How did you get the guns?!" I asked. Hatter turned to face me. "The suits. They brought in all these guns. Weapons you use to win wars, fights, unfair battles. Take your pick." He said. "Too bad you didn't find the bee-bee-guns. Or the Nerf ones. They're harmless." I said.

We soon entered in a room of darkness. Barely any light was in it. And there stood a man in the shadows.
